Further to my original post:

I changed the 'Select the previous input source' from CMD-Space to Option-1, which does work in OOo 3 Beta; it is unacceptable, however, to have to change my system-wide input change shortcut just for the sake of one software suite. I should be able to re-configure the shortcuts within OOo (assuming it's that which is causing the conflict) to something which will be innocuous to my system, right?

My Spotlight shortcuts (Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Option-Space) do work within OOo.

So, assuming I've got it right in my understanding of the bug: is there some way to reconfigure the OOo shortcuts to leave alone the CMD- Space and CMD-Option-Space shortcut combos for my system use?

BTW, in OOo help, in 'General Shortcut Keys in OpenOffice.org', in 'Selecting Rows and Columns in a Database Table (opened by F4)' I read that 'Ctrl+spacebar' is for 'Toggles row selection', and 'Shift +spacebar' is for 'Selects the current column'. Admittedly, it says it's for Database, not Calc, but I couldn't find any 'Spacebar' reference in the Calc section of shortcut descriptions in OOo Help. In my case, however, in Calc, Shift+spacebar selects the current /row/, not the column, Ctrl-spacebar is given to Spotlight (which I am happy about, since it's a system-wide shortcut), but Cmd-Spacebar selects the current column.

So, any help? Thanks, people.

I have MacOS X 10.5.2 running with the Greek language enabled, so I need to switch languages between English and Greek quite often. I invariably use the CMD-Space keyboard shortcut for the flag toggle (I have relegated Spotlight to Ctrl-Space instead).

Alas, it doesn't work. I can only change the input language if I click on the flag with the mouse, which is a nuisance, as it means I have to lift my fingers off the keyboard.

Other system keyboard shortcuts seem to work, though. Spotlight does (Ctrl-Space). Any idea why CMD-Space doesn't?

FWIW, when I'm in Calc and press CMD-Space, a row gets selected. Is there some Option in OOo to change all this?

Many thanks,

Alex.
